Four of them – Brock Lesnar, Nate Diaz, Vladimir Matyushenko and Manny Gamburyan – could be out of action up to six months because of the suspensions.

NSAC officials today emailed the list of official suspensions to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

UFC 141 took place this past Friday, Dec. 30, at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card aired on pay-per-view, and prelims aired on Spike TV and streamed on Facebook.

In the night’s headliner, Strikeforce import Alistair Overeem scored a first-round TKO victory over ex-champ Lesnar, which earned him a guaranteed heavyweight title shot with titleholder Junior Dos Santos. Lesnar suffered a possible abdominal injury in the fight and is suspended until June 28, though a physician can clear him early.

Diaz (right eye), Matyushenko (left knee) and Gamburyan (right shoulder) also could be out of action for a half a year barring medical clearance.
